Creating User Accounts for Default Roles

The JOC Cockpit comes with seven default Roles and Permission Sets, which are described in detail in the Authentication and Authorization - Permissions for the JOC Cockpit Web Service article. In addition, a User Account with default name and password root and root is active. This User Account is assigned to the Role all and can be used to activate the other default Roles and Permission sets by configuring User Accounts for each default Role and to create new Roles and Permission Sets.

  • Click the Submit Button to save the Account configuration.
    • Note that if one of the Accounts should contain a configuration error (such as a blank space in an Account Name), none of the Accounts will be saved to the configuration file.
